Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

“I like people that are making really big dubstep but with different sounds, but I hate people that are trying to copy,” he mused. “Skrillex was one of the pioneers of the new dubstep and everybody now is copying the Skrillex sound. But I like people like Skrillex or Skream or Benga, those old school UK guys who are making dubstep in a new way now.”

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

No idea who scott stapp was, then the camera panned over and *lightbulb* Creed dude. Jeeeeez, can you say karaoke?

Then the skrillydilly mix, pressed play, internet lagged out, went to take a crap.

Then all of the sudden while doing my business, I start to hear Transformers battle action sequence/nu-medieval times battle music. Nothing has disturbed my business like this before. Not even the 4.2 earthquake we had a few weeks back. I was taking a poo then too.

I bet Jim Morrison is cackling from beyond the grave at his bitter former band mates.

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

It’s difficult to say whether Skrillex’s music is “good” in any conventional sense. To some, the man’s very name is anathema; after an Internet commenter posted a video of Moore doing not much other than cheerleading his laptop during one show—a display I saw repeated at his Portland gig—one Skrillex-bashing thread on the Coachella website blew up to more than 1,500 posts. Other detractors have complained that Moore “ruined” dubstep, which makes about as much sense to me as saying that Coldplay ruined punk. The critics are right, however, when they say that much of what Moore has produced is abrasive dreck that feels far too beholden to the cult of the bass drop.

You did it again, guys! Also...this reviewer knows dick about electronic music. Woof.
